#Reverb10 : Community
Reverb 10 is an annual event and online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next. Reverb10: Community — Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create, or connect more deeply with in 2011?
In 2010, happily, I joined a community of food people in Brooklyn who gathered every couple months to trade larder...

#Reverb10 : Make
Reverb 10 is an annual event and online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next. Reverb10: Make — What is the last thing you made? What materials did you use? Is there something you want to make, but you need to clear some time for it?
The last thing that I made, actually completed, was this hat:
I knit it out of Loops & Threads “Impeccable”...

#Reverb10 : Let Go
Reverb 10 is an annual event and online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next. Reverb10: Let Go — What (or who) did you let go of this year? Why?
TwentyTen wasn’t so much a year of letting go for me, as it was for embracing. But I guess the one thing that I really let go was the phrase “I Can’t”. I went from someone who wasn’t sure she...

#Reverb10 : Wonder
Reverb 10 is an annual event and online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next. Reverb10: Wonder — How did you cultivate a sense of wonder this year?
Wonder is one of the few qualities that I appreciate most about myself. I am open to being amazed. I take joy in simple things. My favorite word is “whimsy”, and I make it a point to cultivate that sense in...

#Reverb10: Moment
#Reverb10 : Moment, Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors)
My heart is pounding - which is funny, because I’m certainly not running that fast. I’m sure that there are people cheering, but I can’t hear them because my favorite song, my happy song, the only song that is keeping me...

#Reverb10: Writing
Reverb10 is an attempt to reflect on 2010 and move forward into 2011 with eyes open. Day 2’s prompt asks what you do every day that doesn’t contribute to your writing, and whether you can stop doing it.
I’m not a writer. I wouldn’t even classify myself as “someone who writes”. I’m more someone who used to know how to write, and maybe lost it somewhere...

#Reverb10: One Word
I’m a day late with this one. For that, I sort of apologize, except that I’m 1). not a writer (not even someone who writes) and 2). not connected to the Twitterfolk who would have connected me to #reverb10. Except for Jesse, and he didn’t tell me, so I had to find out on his blog. SO, day 1 now. Day 2 in a few hours.
